86 The Lutheran Pioneer:

used them the next day with my pupils, and soon
all was plain to them. What had not found en-
trance through ear-gate, had easily gone in through
eye-gate. — If you want to get a better and clearer
idea of what our Colored Mission is doing, see to
it that one or more of the interesting illustrated
lectures prepared by the Board are shown in your
congregation. The slides are good, and the type-
written lectures are interesting. If you have no
machine, the Board will also furnish that. Write
to Rey. Th. F. Walther, 6406 Easton Ave., St. Louis,
Mo., for particulars.

New Orneans, La.— Rey. Miles 8S. Gebauer was
installed as pastor of St. Paul’s Chapel on the first

Rev. Miles S. Gebauer.

Sunday in September. — Student Kreutz of Spring-
field Seminary will have charge of the upper classes
of the Mount Zion School, since the Board has not
yet been able to find a successor to Teacher EH. R.
Vix. — Prof. R. A. Wilde, for the past thirteen years
connected with Luther College, has accepted a posi-
tion as teacher in the Lutheran High ‘School at
Milwaukee. Prof. Wilde is a faithful laborer and
efficient teacher, and his removal will be a great loss
to Luther College. May God bless his labors in the
new field!

Our ScHoots In New OriEANS. — Carrollton,
Teacher Peter Robinson, reports an enrolment of
140, and Bethlehem had 232 pupils enrolled at the
end of September. — By the removal of Teacher
Aug. C. Lange to Warda, Tex., Bethlehem School
has lost an efficient principal. — Vacancies in New

Orleans are being supplied by three students. Stu-
dent Kreutz is assisting in the Mount Zion School,
Student Holsten is teaching at Bethlehem, and
Student Roepe is an assistant instructor in Luther
College.

St. Louis, Mo. — This mission recently had a
very inspiring Reunion Service. One hundred people
were present. A social hour after the service was
enjoyed by all present. — No less than 101 pupils
are enrolled in the day-school of this mission. —
Scarcely a month passes that the missionary is not
able to receive new members.

Concorp, N. C.—A suburb of Concord bears
the name of Shankletown. Here a new mission has
recently been opened by about 35 members of our
Concord charge. ‘These people have bought a large
lot and have removed to this lot an old chapel be-
longing to the Board. Prospects are very good for
this new place.

Praguemine, La. — After consulting a number
of the prominent citizens of Plaquemine, among
them the mayor of the town, Pastor C. P. Thompson
began active mission-work in that city the latter
part of August. He succeeded in getting the ser-
vices of his brother, who had temporarily resigned
from teaching on account of poor health, to take
charge of a mission-school, and according to reports
the school is proving too small to provide accommo-
dation for all the pupils that are clamoring for
admission. The Sunday-school is also well attended,
and a class of catechumens will soon be formed. —
A place ten miles from Plaquemine has sent in a
petition to Pastor Thompson, asking him to come
to them also.

ALABAMA ITEms.-— As soon as the cotton crop
has been taken care of, our schools in Alabama
expect to have record attendances. All indications
point that way. — Superintendent of Schools, Rev.
G. A. Schmidt, reports that he has received requests
from two new places in Wilcox County to open up
schools in their localities.

Wasuineton, D. C.— Our Board has an op-
portunity to buy a chapel conveniently located for
our mission at a moderate price. The Editor hopes
that the Board may have found courage to purchase
the building, for experience proves that there is no
opportunity of doing efficient service in large cities
without adequate accommodations in the way of a
church-building.

A New Assistant TREASURER. — Teacher Roe-
mer having left St. Louis, Teacher H. A. Dittmar has
accepted the assistant treasurership. Iga eabe
